Did you cast a spell on me?
Did you wound my heart?
Chorus: You got to do it
Female: Did you come to kill me?
Or did you come to give me an answer?
Chorus: You got to do it
You completely swept this girl away,
while I stood gazing into your eyes…
What have you done to me?
I stood asking you.
Did you cast a spell on me?
Did you wound my heart?
Chorus: You got to do it
Female: Did you come to kill me?

I became a garden where
wild plants grow on their own,
a grove through which
an elephant has trampled.
I watched my love
overflow its banks.
On the sharp tip of a fishhook,
I pierced my very life.
Losing hold of myself,
I fell so far away.
Forgetting my own name,
I lay still like a stone.
Did you cast a spell on me?
Did you wound my heart?
Chorus: You got to do it
Female: Did you come to kill me?
Or did you come to give me an answer?
{Hamma hamma hammamma
Hamma hamma ha
Hamma hamma hammamma
Hamma hamma ha} (x2)
The drops of sweat on your face
are like sparkling diamonds.
To describe your beauty,
there are no words in Tamil.
The dark strands of your mustache
are like fresh wild grass.
Leaping to gently nibble them,
my teeth yearn.
Next to you, even a thorny bush
looks beautiful.
When you appear before me,
even a huge mountain turns to dust.
Did you cast a spell on me?
Male: Hamma hamma hammamma
Female: Did you wound my heart?
Male: Hamma hamma hammamma
